day 28

Although today didn't start too promisingly, it ended up much better than I thought it might.
I didn't get much sleep, which is a little odd given how tired I have been lately. Therefore I took it easy in the morning and managing a nap around the middle of the day but not before I had walked to the paper shop. It may sound a little odd but doing that short walk every day is very important to me.
We went up to Martin and Andrea's for our tea. Emily and Adam were delighted to see their Uncle Chris. Emily said hello to her cousin Harry courtesy of Skype. Later on we came back home and watched the Shawshank Redemption, a long but well constructed film.
Constipation now there's a word to conjure with. As part of the treatment for chemo you are given anti sick pills. These however give you constipation so there are other tablets to counteract that. To some extent I am finding it on occasions difficult to work out whether feeling nauseous is worse than trying to make the bowels move. It's okay I am not daft and know that you get both conditions when receiving this treatment. Still I have got through today which is one nearer when I can have a week off.
